Caravelli 225

Caravelli 225 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Caravelli 225 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Matt Black, Matt Brown or Matt Navy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Caravelli collection.

Choosing your Caravelli 225 colour

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Matt Brown. Matt Brown is a soft, non-shiny brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Matt Navy. In Matt Navy, the frame is blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The Caravelli 225 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Caravelli 225

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Caravelli 225 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Is the Caravelli 225 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.
